No one asks for it. It’s people in a room going “how can we make money for nothing”

This is what's funny to me. These idiots keep missing the mark because they never check to see what the users want. It's always an idea from some insulated group of rich techbros who think they're too smart to listen to anyone other than those in their clique.

It's not even that. It's people in a room going "how can we leverage this popular thing we already own to try and astroturf for this thing everyone loathes for good reason that we want to be able to profit on?".

It's like if Google somehow bought chlamydia and suddenly you got continuous YouTube ads about how unprotected sex was cool.
